📡 What is Ultra-Wideband (UWB)? UWB is quickly becoming a key wireless technology, enabling precise positioning, low-power connectivity, and reliable short-range communication. From smartphones and digital car keys to industrial tracking, healthcare, robotics, and IoT, UWB is expanding across three major markets: consumer location, enterprise tracking, and ultra-low-power connectivity. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/ey7vRCrV #UWB #UltraWideband #Wireless #IoT #Connectivity 

Very good comparison of traditional wireless technologies (Wi-Fi and BLE) with Low Energy UWB (LE-UWB) by Claus Hetting of WiFi NOW in the included article. LE-UWB fits nicely between Wi-Fi and BLE for applications which need ultra-low latency, ultra-low power, low to medium throughput, and short range, but robust connectivity in noisy environment. The wireless requirements are becoming more stringent specially for emerging Edge AI, Physical AI, and IoT applications - traditional wireless technologies were just not built for these applications. This is where LE-UWB is stepping in to fill the void. #Wireless #IoT #UWB #PhysicalAI #EdgeAI SPARK Microsystems https://lnkd.in/g_NUdrGV
